Command Line Tools Reference

AWS CloudFormation provides a number of tools that enable you to manage your CloudFormation stacks directly from your computer's command-line interface (CLI). This section describes each tool in detail.

Note

The CloudFormation CLI tools, which are run from your local system, are distinct from the helper scripts, which are installed on Amazon EC2 instances that you create with CloudFormation. To learn more about the AWS CloudFormation helper scripts, see the CloudFormation Helper Scripts Reference.

For information about downloading and installing the AWS CloudFormation CLI, see Installing the AWS CloudFormation Command Line Interface (CLI).
